A license may be terminated by Dolby if the licensee has not made and sold a Licensed Product or Implementation within a year of signing the license agreement, or if they have stopped selling a product for a year.

Licensees are required to report the sale of Implementations and Licensed Products quarterly, even if the amount is zero. Royalties on Licensed Products must be reported and paid quarterly.

Every Licensed Product and Implementation containing Dolby technologies must be submitted for testing and its design approved by Dolby before they are offered for sale.

Dolby reserves the right to audit Licensee’s books, records, and operations to ensure compliance with all terms of their license agreement.

Under certain circumstances, Dolby may remove a Licensee from the Schedule of Qualified Recipients (SQR) thereby preventing the Licensee from purchasing Implementations containing Dolby technologies.

Dolby requires that Implementation partners only provide Implementations containing Dolby technologies to Licensees listed on the Schedule of Qualified Recipients (SQR).
